#PollOfTheMonth⬇️ How are you responding to the current market volatility?

In my previous post, I wrote that in the face of Trump’s crippling trade war, many businesses are almost paralyzed. One example is @HomeDepot: Price at close April 2: US$370.89 Price at close April 25: US$357.58 Loss: 3.59% https://t.co/77bU8uZHqG

That creates huge problems for many US companies. Stay tuned for my next post where I’ll highlight a compelling example. https://t.co/hJMnMhDXCN

Given the broad rejection of Trump’s tariffs by global markets, investors should be asking three key questions. Find out what they are @ https://t.co/DYKBra8xLQ 🎢 https://t.co/wGCx40PTOR

Markets clearly didn’t agree with Trump’s boast that his tariff wars would propel the US into a new golden age. Instead, indexes around the world have been slumping since “Liberation Day”. Read Part I of my commentary @ https://t.co/DYKBra95Bo https://t.co/oqR78RjvTb
